One of my favorite quick and easy meals. I use chicken or pork for the meat and it turns out equally good. Also, apricot or preach preserves works perfectly. When browning the meat I find coconut oil gives it a wonder flavor. Served over brown rice and you have a healthy, delicious meal that everyone seems to enjoy! GreT recipe

I left out the chips, made 2 batches using spice cake mix for one and red velvet cake mix for the other since it was Christmas. Then I whipped up some cream cheese filling/frosting (2 cakes of cream cheese, 3 cups of confectioners sugar and 2 tsp of homemade rum vanilla) and piped the filling on one cookie and added another cookie on top. I made both batches and they were ready to walk out the door with me that afternoon for a party. The cookies were beautiful, very decadent and lasted much longer without drying out with the cream cheese to keep them moist. Next time I use the spice cake I will add 2 tsp of ginger to get that very Christmasy flavor. Yummy!!!

Such a simple recipe with so MANY possibilities! I made awesome spider cookies for Halloween with dark chocolate cake mixes. I added orange to the cream filling, licorice for legs and decorator's frosting for eyes - orange, green and black. These are cookies best made on the small size because they are VERY rich and delicious but hard to eat the whole cookie if too large. Be sure to use parchment paper and they will come right up without any damage to the cookie. Thanks for a fabulous recipe!

This is by far the best chocolate cake I've ever eaten. My friend turned me onto this recipe that she found on the back of the Hershey's container. My family loves it but refuses to let me frost them ever again. They say it is so moist and good they don't want the frosting to ruin the cake. Make it exactly as it calls for and be careful not to OVER FILL! Never more that 2/3's maximum in the pan.

OH MY! This was fabulous. I always thought I had the best Lasagna recipe in the world until I tried this one. Now I really do have the best recipe!!! The only changes I made was to double the ricotta cheese (and egg), use a full pound of ground beef, and use fresh basil rather than dried. Also, I didn't cook my noodles but assembled the lasagna the night before and let it set in the frig. Then I baked in covered in the oven for 1 hour at 375 degrees and uncovered for 15 minutes. After letting it set for 15 minutes out of the oven I cut it to find a perfect lasagna. This was incredible. The only problem was who got the last piece. Thanks for a truly great recipe.

OMG! These were wonderful! The only change I'll make next time is 50/50 butter/shortening, 50/50 white/brown sugar and an additional 1/4 cup of molasses. I really love the taste of molasses so I used dark or robust unsulfured molasses. Thank you for such a great taste!

Awesome! I made it just as the recipe was written. EXCEPT I folded the whipped cream into the mascarpone cheese mixture and then layered that with the lady fingers. TOO DIE FOR! Even my daughter who doesn't like Tiramisu loved it. Thanks for a great recipe.

Awesome! Thank you for a perfect, easy to make soup. What a great meal on a cool, fall day. Update: My son is home for Christmas and asked me to make this for him while he was home. This has become his very favorite meal. Over the months I have been making this I've realized that mine is too thick so I add an extra cup or two of either cream or milk. Perfect name for a perfect soup! Thanks!

I have been making this for several years and it is wonderful! Be sure to take the time to use fresh orange zest and not dried orange peal - much better! I make this and can it so that we can have great sauce throughout the year. WONDERFUL!

When I saw this recipe had so many 5 star ratings by so many people I just had to try it. Boy, am I glad I did! This is just perfect the way it is. I have a friend who complains about every recipe - how she could make it better. She asked me for this recipe and told me it was the best she ever had. THANKS!!!!

Wonderful recipe! I've used it for 30 years except I use 5 teaspoons of lemon juice rather than vinegar. For those of you who are having trouble getting your preserves to set - try a larger pot. If you aren't boiling your preserves "hard" enough they will not set. NEVER double the recipe and use a large pot rather than a pan. The preserves must be a rolling boil so that they reach 220 degrees and don't stir them often. This recipe was given to me 30 years ago by a lady who was 75 and had been given this recipe by her mother. It works, you just have to have patience and learn how to recognize the signs that the preserves are setting. Have fun!

Absolutely wonderful! My family thought this was the best meal they had ever eatten. I had never tried to make kabobs before so this was my first attempt. They were beautiful! I served them with rice and frest friut. TO DIE FOR! Thanks for a perfet and unintimadating recipe.
